Our clients comprise a wide variety of entrepreneurs and enterprises that need our professional support, such as small & medium-sized companies both in Germany and in neighbouring countries that e.g. need financing in order to fund their growth strategy or that have no successors.
For example, OERTEL SCHELLER advised the family shareholders of
a German “Mittelstand” machinery company in the sale
of their company to an Italian supplier of machine tools. The company,
a leading manufacturer of special purposes machinery for the automotive
industry, did not have a successor within the shareholder family.
At the same time the company wanted to take advantage of the opportunity
that the globalization in the automotive industry presented while
preserving the “Mittelstand”-oriented philosophy of
this family-founded and -run company. The Italian group of companies
was a leading Italian supplier to the automotive industry and was
family-run and -owned as well and wanted to expand its position
in Germany as the most important European automotive market.
